'Be it known that I, ROBERT GEORGE JACK- I sort, citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Tacma, in the county of. Pierce and State ofWashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in. FoodCompounds,

offwhich the following is a specification.

. This invention relates to an improved food compound for 'human'consumption and 10 'has forits primary object to provide a compound ofthis nature which has certain therapeutic as well as nutritivequalities.

The invention has for a further object to provide a food compoundcontaining certain lgestion,

the intestinal organs and which operate to promote the functionalactivities of .the

bowels and thereby assist in the excretion of waste material.

In carrying out my invention, I em loy, as the prime ingredientsthereof, pure ard Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 21, 1915.

Application filed September 10, 1914. Serial 110. 861,111.

the walls thereof lubricated. As such abnormal conditions frequentlybring on spasms, the extreme importance of the flax in my improvedcompound will be appreciated. The flax ingredient by remedying theirritated or inflamed condition of the intestinal tract, thus alsoobviates the absorption of all the moisture in; the waste material, sothat the progress of the latter through the intestines is facilitatedand its expulsion therefrom finally accomplished in a natural manner. Inthis manner a constipated condition of the digestive system will beremedied in the use-of my improved food compound.

The food may be eaten regularly at meal times and in any. desiredquantity. The

same is very palatable and of high nutritive value. It will beappreciated that the product may also be produced and marketed atnominal expense.

- The bulky waste of the brans so stimulates winter. wheat, pure whiteoats, and pure groundflax. In the preparation of these in- 25.gredients, the oats, wheat and flax are ground whole including theouter bran hulls,

the oats being first kiln dried. The cats and a part of the wheat areground upon a'steel muscular and secretory activity that a greateramount of digestive fluids is mixed with the nutritional elements of thefood mass, thereby making digestion more, commuscular activity, aided bythe lubricating plete, while-at thesame time this increased I bur intofinely cut granules,,but without re- 30 ducing the same to flour. Asecond portion of the wheat is passed through three pairs'of grindingrollers until-the wheat kernels are 2 reduced to a finely comminutedform.

\ Having prepared the several food ingre- '35 dients in the abovemanner, 20% of oats is mixed with 20% of the whole ground wheat and 20%of the finely comminuted wheat.

' To this I then add 20% of pure round flax and 20% of prime wheatbran..- ll of these 40 ingredients are thoroughly mixed together andthen placed in suitable containers. The

. wheat bran in the compound lessens the tendency to starchfermentation, and creates bulk for the natural stimulation of thenerv-45 ous, secretory and muscular organs of digestion. Thebran also aids inthe excretion of waste from the digestive tract. Flax 1s ,used to aidinidigestibility" and increase the nutritive property of the compound.Itv is a 4 wellknown fact that flax is the most. easily digested ofgrain seeds arid is at the same time substantially three times asnutritious as wheat. The flax is further used as a demulcent, or foritshealing quality, whereby the irritated intestinal tract is soothed andquality of theflax hastens the waste content along the canal of theintestinal tube so that it reaches the bowel outlet before much of its-moisture content has been absorbed.

This fecal massbeing of large bulk naturally stimulates desire forevacuation and, being soft, it is easily expelled. It thus becomes anatural aidto digestion and a really great relief to the constipated.

What I claim is: 4
